THE OFFICIAL FIGURES.

The official count Of the vote taken
last August on the several constitutional
Amendments, submitted by the late la
mented 10th legislature Qamented be-
cause they were so unfortunate to have
had being) has been made and the totals
are given long suffering people. The
great amendment of all, around which
SO much Of interest conferred to the ex-
clusiOn of much else that was of real i'm
portance, the prohibition" amend
ment, was defeated by 92,6Gl votes. The
LIGHT's figures on this amendment were
$1,000 votes. The voting on this amend
ment seems to have set the pace for the
voting Of all the others and not single
one Of the six amendments submitted
came within $4,000 votes OF being car.

counties amendment, which was lost by
H,SO2. In no case did the vote polled
upon the other amendments come with

Tor and against the prohibition
amendment. The per diem amend
meut was showed under worst of
all, and securing only 43,7O7 votes in
total poll of 3jl ,2O7. This may be accent
ed as showing an intention on the part
Of tie people to rebuke the late legisIs-

Indifference on the part Of the people, as

1871 voters who voted upon the prohi.
bition amendment did not vote one way
or the other upon the per diem amend
ment. The judiciary" and "registrE-
ton amendments received the highest
votes outside Of prohibition. The regis
tratiOn article called out 234,657 votes,
and the judiciary article 2i0,SS7. The
judiciary and registration amendments
were Important amendments, and 1t i to
be regretted that they were 20 over
whemingly defeRted. This state needs
a good registration law, and until such
law is passed there Will be no security
against ballot. box frauds in Texas The
whole vote shows that the interest al
conferred in and exhausted itself upon
tho prOhibitOry article and that the
Others were left to take care of
themselves. 1t now remains for
the legislature that shall follow the
lamentable both to take some steps TO
secure such constitutional reforms in
the judiciary and franchise regulations
OF this state ne will correct the abuses
so long and so loudly complained Of
The trouble, no doubt, with the late
amendments, in thousands Of Instances,
was that there was nothing upon the
printed ballots as ordered to show the
character OF the amendments proposed.
Article and section OF the constitution
was cited and the voter left to guess at

which he never saw, 90 it blind, or
scratch the whole business. That over
Ill ,OC0 voters out of total Of 35l ,2G7 did
scratch every last amendment, the pro-
conclusively that there are good many
men in Texas who have come to years of
discretion and do not propose TO go 1t
blind in such matters The next registra-
by a state Legislature or by n GOnstitu-
tional convention, should Include every
voting precinct in the state, aud should
compel such registration as an indspen-
sible pre- requisite TO casting Il ballet.
The democratic psIty, who deprived
the stete OF the guarantee of pure
ballot enjoyed under the republican Hd-
ministration of affairs, owes it to the
people of Texas TO restore to the statute
book that expurgated registration AZ
tioe, or something equally effective.
With the 92,GGl votes cast against the |
prohibitory amendment the advocates |
ably remain content until next time.

GEN. PoRTER's abrupt departure from
the office of secretary of state during
Bayard's absence is capable OF but one
Interpretation. There must have been
an irreparable difference between them,
attended by such personal feeling as to
make the breach impossible. The diff
ticuIty is reported to have grown out of
the fisheries question. Bayards course
in this matter has been so wishy- washy
that ii is not strange that his first assist
ant has grown disgusted and retired
from the office to preserve his own in
diyidual self-respect.
